The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 436:

Chapter 436: 436 Fourth Brother feeds you

Xiao Yishan felt a bit disappointed, wondering why his wife called fourth brother to help third brother, but not him. Suddenly he realized his wife was being considerate; she knew that fourth brother, with his disabled legs, couldn’t stand, and didn’t want to increase his inferiority complex, so she tried to ask him to do what he could.

His wife was so kind, he shouldn’t overthink.

Xiao Yuchuan looked at the wet clothes on Qingyue and said with concern, ‘My dear, you should hurry and change your wet clothes too, or you’ll catch a cold.”

“Hmm.” The clothes that Su Qingyue was wearing now were newly bought, the sun was shining brightly, so the clothing she washed earlier dried up quickly and she had gathered them all up.

When she went to the secondary bedroom, she found that the door was slightly ajar. It was previously closed tightly. There were scratch marks on the bottom of the door, presumably made by the mischievous little creature who didn’t want to be locked up, and used its claws to pry open the door.

She walked into the secondary bedroom, picked up the washed and patched clothes that were placed on the bed. Counting the ones she was wearing now, she only had two sets of clothes.

Having another set of clothes to switch into was already good.

Her hair was also speckled with mud.

After slightly wringing her hair to get rid of the muddy water, she tied her hair up on top of her head, took off her wet clothes, and put on clean ones. Then, she went to the kitchen to boil hot water.

She and third brother needed to wash their hair.

She saw that the door to the master bedroom was still closed; she had closed it when she went out.

The rain had stopped and it was probably around five in the afternoon now.

For summer days, it was still early.

After a little while, she pushed the door open to the master bedroom.

She saw third brother had already changed into clean clothes and was lying on the bed. The muddy water in his hair was probably cleaned by fourth brother using the water from the washbasin and a towel.

“Wife, why did you just come in?” Xiao Yuchuan seeing her, broke out into a grin, “If you had come earlier, you could’ve gotten a peek at your husband’s naked body…”

“Third brother!” Xiao Yishan rebuked with displeasure, “Stop being so inappropriate in front of Yue’er.”

Su Qingyue nodded, “Second brother is more serious.”

‘ Xiao Yishan regretted it a bit. He didn’t want to be seen as a straight-laced person in front of his wife. However, he couldn’t imitate third brother either.

Seeing that third brother’s hair was still wet, Su Qingyue thought about how ancient times didn’t have hair dryers. Both men and women had long hair; men’s hair might not be as long as women’s, but it was troublesome when the hair was wet.

So, people usually washed their hair when the sun was shining, as it would dry faster.

There was still some sunlight outside, but looking at third brother’s pale face, it would be better to let him lie on the bed and not move him out to dry his hair.

She took two more dry towels from the door of the kitchen and handed them to fourth brother, “Help third brother to dry his hair a bit more.”

Seeing his wife so concerned about third brother, Xiao Qinghe felt a bit sour, but he nodded.

Qingyue picked up all the wet clothes she and third brother had taken off, carried them to the river bank to wash quickly, and then hung them to dry on the bamboo pole in the yard.

At this time, the hot water was also ready. She got some hot water, washed her hair with soap pod, tried to dry her hair as much as possible, then cooked two bowls of ginger soup, drank one herself, and took the other one to the master bedroom.

Xiao Yuchuan was propped against the wall. Seeing her, the original handsome pale face lit up, “My dear…’

Qingyue saw the bruise on his face that she had pinched, laughed, and handed him the bowl in her hands, “Drink the ginger soup to ward off the cold.”

“I can’t hold it… can you feed me…?”

Qingyue instinctively handed the bowl to Qinghe.

Xiao Qinghe brought the bowl to third brother’s lips, “Third brother, fourth brother will feed you..”
